FAQs

What does the MPN 911-956 signify?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. 911-956 is the unique identifier for this specific FA1 pipe connector, indicating its precise specifications and intended application.

Is this a universal exhaust connector?

No, this is not a universal connector. It has specific dimensions (56mm diameter) and thread size (M8) and is designed for particular applications. Always confirm compatibility with your vehicle's exhaust system.

How do I know if 56mm is the correct diameter for my pipes?

You can measure the outer diameter of the exhaust pipe section where the connector will be installed. Alternatively, consult your vehicle's repair manual or search for exhaust system specifications for your car model.

What tools are needed for installation?

Typically, you will need wrenches or a socket set to tighten the nuts on the M8 U-bolt. Ensure you have the correct size sockets for the nuts.

Can I use this connector with different thread sizes?

No, this connector is specifically designed with M8 threads. Using it with incompatible thread sizes will not provide a secure connection and may damage components.

Where can I find compatible FA1 pipe connectors for other vehicles?

Refer to the FA1 product catalog or consult with an automotive parts specialist. FA1 offers a range of pipe connectors with different specifications to suit various vehicle makes and models.

Troubleshooting

Connector does not fit pipes

Verify that the pipe diameter matches the connector's 56mm specification. Ensure you are attempting to connect pipes of the same diameter.

U-bolt threads are stripped or won't tighten

Inspect the M8 threads on both the U-bolt and any corresponding nuts. If damaged, the U-bolt or securing nuts may need replacement. Do not force tightening if threads are crossed.

Exhaust leak after installation

Ensure the U-bolt is tightened sufficiently and evenly. Check for any obstructions or damage on the pipe ends that prevent a seal. Confirm the connector is the correct size for the pipes.
